Summary

Overview

This beta update for Manor Lords focuses heavily on technical stability and pathfinding, specifically addressing the common issue of workers getting stuck. A significant rework of the collision system now uses capsules to combine characters and handcarts, while household labor logic has been refined to allow husbands to assist with chores.

Gameplay & Technical Improvements

Beyond the collision rework, the update introduces several logic fixes for production and logistics. Workers now better prioritize supply dumps, and specific buildings like the Farmhouse and Clay Furnace can support more simultaneous workers. Military encounters have also been polished to ensure battles end correctly when enemies flee and to reduce performance stutters caused by archer AI.
